Inducible gene expression has emerged as a powerful tool for plant functional genomics. The estrogen receptor-based, chemical-inducible system XVE has been used in many plant species, but the limited systemic movement of inducer β-estradiol in transgenic rice plants has prohibited

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are genetic disorders that affect up to 1 in 25,000 births. They are caused by dysfunctions of lysosomal hydrolases that degrade glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) which accumulate in cells, damaging their proper functioning. There are 7 types of MPS, distinguished

For the planar yeast estrogen screen (pYES), 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-d-galactopyranoside was generally employed as substrate, delivering blue fluorescing 4-methylumbelliferone after enzymatic cleavage by the YES reporter β-d-galactosidase as the positive signal for the presence of estrogen active compounds (EAC). As environmental samples

Most land plants have evolved a mutualistic symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi that improve nutrient acquisition from the soil. In return, up to 20% of host plant photosynthate is transferred to the mycorrhizal fungus in the form of lipids
